Youth charged with murder of Ukrainian teenager in Dublin

A youth has been charged with the murder of a Ukrainian teenager in north Dublin.

Vadym Davydenko died and two others were taken to hospital after an incident at Tusla emergency accommodation in Donaghmede on Wednesday.

The 17-year-old accused appeared before Judge Treasa Kelly at the Criminal Courts of Justice on Saturday.

Barefoot and wearing a black jumper he was surrounded by gardai in protective clothing as proceedings were translated by a Somali interpreter.

Detective Superintendent Mark Quill told the court the teenager was arrested at Clontarf Garda Station on Saturday afternoon and charged with murder.

Mr Quill said the accused made no reply when charged and an interpreter and Tusla representative were present.

No bail application was made and the youth was remanded to Oberstown Children Detention Campus until Tuesday when he is due to appear at Dublin Children’s Court.

His solicitor made an application for urgent psychiatric and medical care in custody and requested a Somali interpreter at his next court appearance.
